These Terms and Conditions apply to all bookings made for Man With Van Croydon services, including small removals, single-item transport, furniture delivery, and related moving assistance. By making a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms, which are designed to set out clear expectations for both parties. These conditions should be read carefully before confirming any service. They apply whether the booking is made by phone, email, or any other agreed method, and they govern the supply of services in a fair and transparent way.

The terms below use the words we, us, and our to refer to the service provider, and you or the customer to refer to the person or business making the booking. In these conditions, a man and van Croydon service means any transport or handling arrangement involving a vehicle, driver, and where agreed, loading or unloading assistance. These terms are intended to cover standard moving work and similar transport assignments, but they do not replace any specific written agreement that may be made for a particular job.

If any part of these terms is unclear, the customer should raise the matter before booking is confirmed. Once a booking is placed, the customer is deemed to have accepted the conditions in full. We may update these terms from time to time, and the version in force at the time of the booking will apply unless we agree otherwise in writing. The customer is responsible for ensuring that all booking details are accurate, complete, and suitable for the service requested.

Booking Process

All bookings for Man with Van Croydon are subject to availability and confirmation. A booking request may include details such as the collection and delivery addresses, preferred date and time, type and quantity of items, access conditions, and any special handling requirements. We may request photographs, item dimensions, or additional information to assess the scope of work. Where necessary, we may provide a quote based on the details supplied, but the final price may be adjusted if the actual job differs materially from the information given at the time of booking.

To secure a booking, the customer must provide accurate contact details and confirm acceptance of the quoted terms. A booking is not confirmed until we issue confirmation, whether verbally or in writing. We reserve the right to decline a booking if the job is unsafe, unlawful, beyond our service capacity, or outside the agreed scope. A man with a van in Croydon service may require access arrangements, parking considerations, or loading restrictions to be disclosed in advance. Failure to disclose relevant information may affect the service and may result in additional charges or refusal to proceed.

Any changes requested after confirmation, including alterations to the date, volume of goods, addresses, or service type, are subject to our agreement and may alter the price or availability. The customer should ensure that all items are packed securely unless packing has been specifically included in the service. We are not responsible for delays caused by incomplete information, inaccessible premises, or the customer’s failure to be present at the agreed time unless we have agreed otherwise.

By booking a man with van service, the customer confirms that they have authority to arrange the transport of the items concerned and that no law or third-party right is being breached. Items must be ready for collection at the agreed time, and the customer must ensure that any necessary permissions for building access, parking, or gate entry are arranged in advance. Where building management or neighbours impose restrictions, the customer should notify us before the move so we can assess whether the service can be completed safely and lawfully.

Payments must be made in accordance with the quotation or invoice issued for the job. Unless otherwise agreed, payment may be required in advance, upon completion, or by a staged arrangement where the work involves multiple parts. We may accept bank transfer, card payment, cash, or another method agreed in advance. All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may include or exclude VAT depending on our status and the service arrangement. Any deposit taken is used to reserve time and resources for the booking and may be non-refundable except where these terms state otherwise.

If the job takes longer than expected, involves extra labour, additional trips, waiting time, or changes not included in the original quote, we may charge a reasonable supplement. Examples include unmentioned stairs, unusually heavy items, restricted access, or additional collection and drop-off points. The customer agrees to settle any valid additional charges promptly. If payment is declined, delayed, or incomplete, we may suspend the service, retain goods only to the extent permitted by law, or recover reasonable costs associated with non-payment.

Cancellations, Delays, and Customer Responsibilities

The customer may cancel a booking by giving notice before the scheduled service date. Cancellation charges may apply depending on how much notice is given and whether resources have already been allocated. If the booking is cancelled at short notice, we may retain all or part of any deposit to cover loss of time and expenses. If the customer is not present, not ready, or unable to proceed at the agreed time, this may be treated as a late cancellation or failed attendance and may be charged accordingly.

We may cancel or reschedule a booking where there is illness, vehicle failure, unsafe conditions, adverse weather, traffic disruption, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, we will aim to notify the customer as soon as reasonably possible and offer a new time where available. We are not liable for indirect losses arising from a delay or cancellation caused by matters outside our control, although we will act reasonably and in good faith to minimise disruption. If the customer requests a particular time-sensitive delivery, they accept that timing cannot always be guaranteed unless expressly agreed as a fixed commitment.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that items are properly packed, labelled, and suitable for transport. Fragile goods should be protected appropriately, and valuable items should be declared before the move. The customer should remove or secure loose parts, drain liquids where needed, and disconnect appliances only if it is safe to do so and if no specialist work is required. We may refuse to move items that are unsafe, prohibited, excessively heavy for the available equipment, or likely to cause damage to property, vehicle, or persons.

We are not responsible for damage caused by poor packing, defective items, hidden weakness in furniture, or pre-existing faults. Where the customer chooses to pack their own belongings, they accept responsibility for the adequacy of that packing unless damage results from our negligence. The customer should also ensure that the service location is accessible and that pathways are clear. If the job cannot be completed due to blocked access, missing keys, or incorrect information, additional charges may apply.

Liability and Insurance

We will take reasonable care when performing a man and van Croydon service, but our liability is limited to losses caused directly by our negligence or breach of contract and only to the extent permitted by law. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any matter that cannot legally be limited or excluded. Subject to that, we will not be responsible for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or any business interruption arising from the service.

Where we are liable for damage to goods, our responsibility will generally be limited to the reasonable repair cost or the replacement value of the affected item, whichever is lower, and subject to proof of value and condition. The customer must report any damage or loss as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within a reasonable period after completion of the service. Failure to report promptly may affect any claim. Any claim must be supported by evidence, such as photographs, receipts, or relevant documents.

Waste Regulations and Prohibited Items

Where waste removal or disposal is included in a man with a van service, the customer must ensure that all waste is described honestly and lawfully. We only handle waste in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations and any licensing or carrier requirements that apply to the work. The customer must not ask us to dispose of hazardous materials, clinical waste, asbestos, chemicals, gas bottles, oils, batteries, paint, or any other item restricted by law unless this has been expressly agreed and can be carried out lawfully by the appropriate route.

We reserve the right to refuse any waste that appears unsafe, improperly declared, or unsuitable for lawful carriage or disposal. If the customer provides misleading information about waste type or quantity, we may cancel the waste collection, charge for time already spent, and recover any associated costs. The customer remains responsible for ensuring that the waste placed for collection is theirs to dispose of or that they are otherwise authorised to arrange its removal. Fly-tipping, unlawful dumping, and improper disposal are prohibited and may be reported where required by law.

When waste is collected as part of a man with van in Croydon booking, we may issue or retain records relating to the transfer or disposal of waste where required by regulation. The customer agrees to cooperate with reasonable documentation requests needed for compliance. If the service includes removal of bulky domestic items, the customer should confirm whether those items are intended for reuse, recycling, or disposal so that the correct handling method can be followed. We may refuse mixed loads where separation is required for lawful or practical reasons.

Service Standards, Access, and Force Majeure

We aim to provide a professional and careful service, using appropriate vehicles and equipment for the agreed task. However, the customer accepts that the nature of moving work may involve reasonable handling risks. Our team may decline to carry items that are too large for the premises, too heavy for safe manual handling, or unsuitable for the vehicle without specialist support. If extra assistance is needed, we may offer a revised quotation or suggest that the service be adjusted accordingly.

Any estimate of duration, distance, or arrival time is given in good faith, but traffic, road conditions, access delays, and unforeseen events may affect the schedule. Time is not of the essence unless explicitly agreed in writing. If we are prevented from performing the service by events beyond our control, including severe weather, accident, fire, strike action, civil unrest, or legal restriction, we will not be liable for delay or non-performance during the affected period. In such circumstances, we will seek a reasonable alternative where possible.

The customer must ensure that children, pets, and bystanders are kept clear of working areas to reduce risk. We may refuse to continue where conditions are unsafe. The customer also agrees that any goods carried remain their property or are lawfully entrusted to them for transport. If we suspect that items may be stolen, illegal, or otherwise unlawful to move, we may stop the job and, where required, notify the relevant authorities.

Complaints, Disputes, and Governing Law

If the customer is dissatisfied with any part of the service, they should notify us promptly so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, attempt a resolution. We may ask for photographs, item details, timing information, or other relevant evidence. The parties should use reasonable efforts to settle disputes informally before taking further action. Nothing in these terms prevents either party from seeking legal remedies where necessary.

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or connected with a man with a van Croydon booking or service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. If any term is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms will continue in full force and effect. No failure or delay by either party in enforcing a right shall operate as a waiver of that right.

These terms represent the full understanding between the customer and us in relation to the service, subject to any written variation agreed by both parties. The customer should retain a copy for their records. By proceeding with a booking, the customer confirms that they have read, understood, and accepted these conditions and that they are satisfied the service requested is appropriate for their needs.
